Hey Listers,

Did some work on the car this weekend which included replacing my old coil 
with an MSD blaster 2. When I took the car out for a test drive, I noticed a 
very high reading on the AMP gauge. 30+ reading.

Well, I immediately turned the car towards home, but before I could get 
there, the AMP gauge suddenly went to a low voltage reading. (About -5 on 
the gauge)

Now I have no dash lights, no turn signals, only the mechanical gauges and 
the clock are working and I have very dim lights.

Without a wiring diagram to go by, what should I look for first? Voltage 
regulator? Anyone who is planning to come to the barbecue on Monday, if you 
have a voltmeter please bring it along.
